| The most damning thing about this is they didn't test their email infra w/ Google Workspaces. Imagine what else they didn't test. |

| They are testing it, every time someone signs up and it fails. We don't know that this wasn't something that changed on Google's side, so IMO it's a bigger indictment that no one is monitoring their live email deliverability |
